THE IMP BAZAAR
There is a wall keeping forces of great evil from entering city streets, but what stands to protect the walls of living hearts and those inside every home?
The fabled imp bazaar has arrived and only you can keep their greedy hands from snatching your coins along with your trust. Imps are creatures of misfortune. They are selfish and sadistic, tools of dark masters, and enjoy witnessing and inflicting pain. However, this bazaar is made up of imps who have turned from a life of service into one of business. Very few living will ever tread the darkest depths imps can reach without consequence and that is why what this collective has to offer is so rare and alluring.
Love potions, shapeshifting elixirs, powerful hallucinogens, cursing spells, cures. The imps have brought it all with them, but what is advertised might not always bring favorable results onto buyer or victim. This breed is known for switching labels and spreading misinformation if only to watch a bit of chaos and end up rich in the process. Officials who have received word of this arrival ask the public to not engage or invite the illegal bazaar into their home, but curiosity and desperation are much more powerful tools than human authority.
How to invite the imp bazaar: Imps appearance: Bug like to avoid detection Each and every door in Klamenth Falls will receive a scrap of paper one morning this week. On it will be scribbled a single word one might be familiar with or new to the buyer altogether. Keep this paper safe and secret. It is a bewitched password only you can use. Find yourself a private place that has a wall you can face. Somewhere quiet where you are sure to be alone without interruption. A friend or two are permitted to join in on the sale, not a crowd, but only one buyerâs coin should be lined on the floor. Only the buyer with the password in hand should speak. Take your coin purse and empty it on the floor, lining each coin out in a straight row in any order. This is your offering and the imp can pick and choose one, a few, or collect all of the coins that spark their interest. Do not offer anything more, otherwise the imp will take it as an invitation to make a permanent home out of your full property--a most miserable fate. Once the coins are lined out, take hold of your password, face the wall and say what is written on the paper only once very clear. Out of the woodwork will appear the imp with its handmade wagon behind. Say what you want, take it, and allow the imp to collect its coin in peace before carrying on its way. Remember: There are no guarantees that what you were given will do as promised. The imp will give what it deems fair. Your beauty, kindness, and money will not impact the creatures choice. After they leave, it is up to the buyer to trust the transaction, take the risk, or dispose of the item quickly.
The most common issue Klamenth Falls faces with the untimely arrival of the Imp Bazaar is one of ignorance. Imps are simple creatures, but a misstep of the above instructions can lead to permanent disasters. While the police force fights the imp market, buyers are forced to keep quiet and not seek education on how to handle the transaction. Witches and demons commonly know of imps natures so it is wise for buyers to seek out neighbors of such species.
This event will be open to discuss and play out from Sunday July 9 - Saturday July 15 For self paras for the community to read, tag wildstatebazaar
OOC: Players do not have to participate in this event should their character(s) hold no interest in what the imps offer. Those who do choose to play it out for a bit of fortune or chaos should still follow the roleplay rules as far as extreme plotting is concerned (murder, god modding, suicide, etc...). Ask Mod Blue and Lea if you want to buy a potion/spell that could kill a character, impregnate them, or effect other characters/the whole town. You need permission. Players can write this as a self para or a pairing/small group para. See the instructions above for details. If what the character buys will effect another players character you MUST ask for permission from the player first. Have fun with plot but do not god mod.
